What is Mycoplasma?

A microorganism causing the death of plant or animal tissues.
A microorganism possessing virus- and bacteria-like properties.
A pest control product effective against only one species of pests.
A chemical used to control snails and slugs.

The correct answer is: A microorganism possessing virus- and bacteria-like properties.

Mycoplasma is a unique type of microorganism that is characterized by its lack of a cell wall. This feature makes it distinct from both bacteria and viruses. Mycoplasma is known for its ability to infect both plants and animals, causing a variety of diseases. This answer is correct because it accurately describes Mycoplasma as a microorganism possessing properties that are a combination of both viruses and bacteria. Regarding the other options: Option A, stating that Mycoplasma is a microorganism causing the death of plant or animal tissues, is incorrect as Mycoplasma does not necessarily always lead to the death of tissues. Option C, suggesting that Mycoplasma is a pest control product effective against only one species of pests, is incorrect as Mycoplasma is not a pest control product but rather a type of microorganism. Option D, indicating that Mycoplasma is a chemical used to control snails and slugs, is incorrect as Mycoplasma is not a chemical but a type of microorganism.
